  1. As someone with a physical disability with a lot of severe chronic pain, and as someone who totally loves SWTOR, I'd love to see official controller support in the game similar to what you see in STO. I know there are ways around it through third party applications to make a controller work, but that's something that may take a bit more computer knowledge than many people (myself included) have and you really shouldn't have to use a third party application just to be able to play the game more comfortably. For me it's VERY painful to use keyboard and mouse to play SWTOR, and I am forced to use the arrow keys for movement as the ASWD option is too painful to even consider, and that in turn rules out using number pad for skills as my right hand is already busy with the arrow keys, so it leaves me with using the mouse pad on my laptop to fire off skills and I wouldn't even be able to use an external mouse properly unless facilitating my ambidextrousity and using an external mouse with left hand, but not everyone has that luxury either. Long missions with a lot of running in them, for example when doing VOSS planetary missions and class missions, can be absolutely agonizing because of the amount of time you spend running or being on a mount as you have to sit there and press the key all the way from point A to point B. Using a controller such as an Xbox controller is a lot more ergonomically correct for a lot of people with hand and arm pain as you can then keep your arms closer to your body and keep your hands in a better position. As for key binds on a controller, a lot of controllers even have little keyboards you can buy and attach to them, so if there's an option built into the game for controller, a controller with attached keyboard to it could solve the issue with the amount of key binds you might need for at least basic game play. I for one would get a keyboard to my controller if SWTOR started to support controller in the game and my hands would be so much happier if that day comes! Also, do something about the bright flashing lights! Like the tiny healing drones that some NPC's uses (example the repair guy on the platform in the large room of Trouble in deed heroic on Coruscant) that flashing is seen here and there and because it's almost like a strobe light type flashing, there's a huge risk it could trigger a seizure in people with epilepsy, and it could trigger a migraine for myself and others who are prone to migraines, or just cause general headaches and eye discomfort. That flashing from the healing drone thing doesn't contribute game play wise so there's really no reason for the visual to even be there. I also wouldn't mind if the armor thing that flashes was toned down a bit, there's just no reason for such visual effects and they can be outright dangerous for people with medical conditions and cause a lot of discomfort for others. Wouldn't mind if the dance floor is toned down as well, that decoration is the nemesis for me because it triggers headaches, and if someone is dealing with seizures it's yet another item that could be outright dangerous for them to be around. I'm also all for settings to make the game more accessible for people with colorblindness, I'm not affected by colorblindness myself but I really do want the game to be accessible for as many as possible regardless of what type of disability someone has. Also would appreciate if it was possible to customize font in more places that the chat box, the text can be very small at times and poor eyesight is a thing. Games can be a very good way to distract yourself from severe chronic pain, anxiety and so on, or just be a way to actually socialize with people and make friends, so it's really super important that people can actually play and take part and have fun. I personally deal with severe chronic pain, light sensitivity and I've been a migraine patient for many years (though thankfully migraine attack free for some years now, though can feel the start of one from certain flashing)
  2. Having the same issue myself, as does a friend, and looks like many many others. I shall have patience though. It is a big update to the game today, so I'm not surprised there be bugs as well, it happens. The developers are only human after all, and both them and the rest of us are dealing with unprecedented times in the world. I shall be in my meditation chamber and patiently wait for the issue to be fixed.
  3. So I'm currently doing the Star Fortress story arc, and have destroyed all the shield generators planet side, and talked with the lieutenant and done the Star Fortress mission that he gives, I come out of the mission after killing the entire map including optional objectives in the mission, only to get some exp and the mission won't disappear from the mission tracker... What in the love of Star Wars is going on? Have we landed in Bugtown, or am I missing something? I've done missions both on my own and with a friend and it just won't disappear from the mission tracker for either of us, and it's honestly getting rather old to replay the missions now without getting any progress in the arc for completing the Star Fortress...
